I've asked the question quite clearly multiple times, and no I'm not saying telling the truth about a product is unethical. YOU are the one saying undercutting the competition is unethical. That's how WalMart built it's empire. You worked at WalMart... follow the very simple logic here.

I'm not intimating anything. I'm just showing you how desperately wrong you are. Undercutting competion is NOT unethical, IMHO working for WalMart and helping them undercut competition is not unethical. But YOU SAID undercutting competition is unethical. So you've got two choices: either you're a bad person, or you're wrong. Take your pick.

I don't pray to anything. I have a very 1960's Catholic relationship with God, I don't hassle Him, He doesn't hassle me, at appropriate time I thank Him, whenever He feels like it He shows me a nice sunset. I work for money, because money does things I need it to do like put a roof over my head and food in my belly. I suspect you work for the same reason. The difference is your undies get knotted up when other people point out that money is and always will be an important part of life on this rock.

That last paragraph doesn't even make sense. Lets try to stay on topic. Businesses exist to make profit, undercutting the competition is not unethical, laws that hurt business in their attempt to be profitable usually damage the economy and need to be rethought. That's life in grownup land.

It's disappointing that this needs to be said at all on a supposedly conservative forum.

YOU are the one saying undercutting the competition is unethical.

Oh, no. Quite to the contrary - I've been absolutely crystal clear and I think it's fair to say you're flatly mistating the record. Competition is one thing - unfair competition is quite another. You are the one with the ethical problem that can't tell the difference between the two. I've spelled out my position in the letter that opened this thread and have been quite clear as to precisely what it is that is being protested. So, you're not gonna get by with mistating what I've said. I've been consistent here and on multiple other threads on this subject and in no way unclear about what I'm protesting. Try again junior.

But YOU SAID undercutting competition is unethical.

Quote it. I can cite what I rebut from you. Cite it. Show me where I made that general statement. I've been specific as I noted before. So cite it and point to where it was said.

Nope, never have thrown a fit over that - you're making things up now.

As for the rest of what you said, it made zero sense.. I think that's discostu speak for I can't deal with it so I won't. I think I'll take the same approach.
